Summer, summer, summertime! It’s the summertime!

Wednesday, June 21st, 2017 by

I’ve got my swimsuit ready! Where’s the pool party? Ah, yes, gotta love living in Southern California! The days are getting hotter, and so is my schedule.

I’ve got some hot shows with the amazing band Farofa this week. Farofa is a group of phenomenal Brazilian musicians (Felipe Fraga, Isaias Elpes, Luis Mascaro) who live in Los Angeles. On occasion, their guitarist, JP Murão, asks me to sub for him, and this week I get to pretend to be Carioca twice! If you haven’t seen Farofa, and want to see me with them, don’t miss this free performance. Their original compositions and innovative, fresh interpretations of contemporary American pop songs are invigorating, exciting and fun! You will dance…


In July, I’ll be traveling to Lebanon to perform at the Zouk Mikael International Festival with the fantastic singer/songwriter Mayssa Karaa and a group of distinguished American musicians: our MD Carmine Rojas, Scott PageMarcus Nand, Rich Jacques and Neal Daniels. I’m so excited! I’ve never been to Lebanon, and can’t wait to get there and perform the beautiful blend of American and Lebanese music that we’ve been rehearsing.

Once I get back to the USA, I’ll be heading to Summerfest in Milwaukee to be a mentor for the School of Rock at Summerfest! This event, School of Rock OnTour@Summerfest, showcases 500+ students in 60 bands from 30+ School of Rock locations around the US and Australia. Over the course of two days, the students will rock the Summerfest audience from numerous stages, performing iconic rock songs with professional guest artists from legendary bands. I’m looking forward to hearing what these talented young musicians can do! Check out School of Rock to find a school near you.

Speaking of hot…have you considered having live music for your summer fete? Book me! If you want to organize a house concert, it’s FREE to you as the host. Email me and I’ll send you details 🙂
